Crashes on rides.

**White trash** · 30th October 2005, 18:03

So. You're at a KB event or ride, someone has a big enough biff to be carted in an Ambo. Maybe life threatening, maybe not.

Do you

A: Race home, get online and post it for the world to see.
B: Give it a couple of days and the post it.
C: Post it but only after asking the rider who's been injured or
D: Let them or one of their family post about it.

Post your coments if you will, I know alot of people wont post it but feel the same way I do. That's what the poll is for.

I know where you are coming from Jimmy . I take alot of group ride's round here & had afew Binn's while on them nothing to go putting into to the next News Paper tho . People are interested in knowing how the rider is not about anything else so that could be something for Newer member's to think about for future post's ?

Maybe this is something that should just be left to rest rather than going on about it.

Would you guys like me to withdrawl my pics? Sorry if i have offended anyone.......

**NotaGoth** · 30th October 2005, 18:23

ok here.. say in another situation.. the rider dies.. family wise no one knows they use KB (you can't say everyones family members know about the site) who will post to say somethings happened? the rider can't do it.. family can't.. yet SOME people may like to know?

Isn't it general policy here to follow option D.

I've done it before and feel that's it's the crasher's wish or his family's wish.

Yes, sometimes newbies get it wrong. But that's cos they're newbies to KB.

NOT because they mean to cause trouble. It's human nature to burst out if you have something you wish to talk about.

It's the "Eureka, Eureka" syndrome.

Not sure what you're on about dude, but I aint seen no pics.

Clarification: There used to be a bit of a gentlemans/womans agreement that fellow KBers wouldn't post the details of injury crashes before the person who binned could do it themselves. I thought that was still the deal, common courtesy.

Aparently not.

No one on here except Mikey and WINJA wanna cause trouble, I know that, I just can't understand why people get their backs up so bad about being told to settle down and be quiet.

That should apply to the chat too then, and people discussing "who fell off" before that person can post details for themselves. Right or wrong?

Can you imagine how I would feel if something happened to White Trash - lets say I'm at work and have left my cellphone at home (common occurance). I come back to station from a job to find a post that something has happened to him. Not only that, but his ex wife and mother of his children finds out the same way. Do any of you think that is on?

I think people should wait before they post this sort of stuff.

I can understand that, but also now we need to think about the use of chat to discuss bins also then.

I know what you mean Jimmy cos I know where you're coming from. I'm sure you've done your share of sweeping away the glass, putting pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding, having to explain to the dad/mum/gf/ etc.

However the answer to your question lies in your own words:

EDIT: SM says what I mean quite well.
